Learn the truth about tithingLearn the truth about tithingLearn the truth about tithingLearn the truth about tithing Has anyone ever taught you the truth about tithing? Well it’s
time for you to learn the whole truth. When any Christian has
learned the truth about tithing, then he or she has a moral duty
to God to spread the gospel so new converts aren’t deceived. A
deception is premised on hearing half of the truth. The only way
to clarify a misconception comes from hearing the whole truth.
If you continue to read this article, then you will become privy
to the whole truth about why our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
has ordained Christian ministers to preach the gospel.
Tithing giving God the firstTithing giving God the firstTithing giving God the firstTithing giving God the first
tenth otenth otenth otenth of your incomef your incomef your incomef your income Tithing is giving God the first tenth of your income. God
has ordained the Leviticus priesthood to collect tithes.
Since God has specified a set percentage to pay as a
mandatory requirement, then such payment constitutes a
debt owed to God. The Lost Sheep of Israel or the Jews
were obligated to section off one tenth of their crop. In
other words tithing meant food rather than money.

Everything I have I owe to GodEverything I have I owe to GodEverything I have I owe to GodEverything I have I owe to God Persons, who pay tithes may actually believe he or she owes
God for everything I have. This is the mind-set of a debtor. If a
person has misbelief he or she owes God, then it weighs on his
or her conscience. In other words, he or she may feel a sense of
guilt or shame for cheating God by not making regular tithe
payments. The only way to overcome the guilt or shame for not
paying tithes or falling behind paying tithes is by learning the
truth about tithing. Pastors who are collecting tithes from
believers are in jeopardy of teaching a false doctrine. If a
person has accepted baptism he or she doesn’t pay tithes.
Tithing is collecting a paymentTithing is collecting a paymentTithing is collecting a paymentTithing is collecting a payment When a pastor accepts tithes it is the same as collecting a
payment for owing a debt to God. Tithes come off the top
meaning that before paying any bill members must subtract
his or her tithes to fulfill God’s law despite being burden with
other debts. Tithing payments may impose a burden on the
congregation, but church members feel a sense of obligation,
because the pastor pressures him or her to pay tithes. Under
our New Testament we’re no longer debtors but heirs. This
means God doesn’t obligate believers to pay their tithes.

mortgage note, furniture bill or credit cards etc. A debtor is any
person who owes his or her lender. The only difference between
tithing and any other debt is tithing can’t be paid off until one
has deceased. In other words, one must struggle his or her
entire life paying tithes. Jubilation is when a debtor has paid his
or her final note or payment to dissolve their debt. Apply this
analogy to understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. Believers are
jubilant that we are no longer indebted to God to pay tithes.
God doesn’t make loansGod doesn’t make loansGod doesn’t make loansGod doesn’t make loans God doesn’t make loans! Instead, God showers us with his
magnificent blessings as gifts to show how much he loves us.
God’s blessings are like being awarded grants or scholarships. In
other words God doesn’t burden us to pay him back. We don’t
owe God one red cent. The biblical terminology for charity or
grace simply connotes that God’s love is free of charge. If we
attempt to pay God back by paying tithes, then we offend God.
He becomes insulted that we’re still paying tithes after Jesus has
shed his own blood for the remission of sins to pay off our debt.

Jesus’ Last SupperJesus’ Last SupperJesus’ Last SupperJesus’ Last Supper The Last Supper is key to understanding Jesus’ New Testament.
The twelve disciples were witnesses who attested to his final
hours prior to his crucifixion. The testimony that Jesus Christ has
given at his Last Supper has become the foundation for Christian
or Catholic theology. It is imperative to understand the meaning of
testament to fully appreciate Jesus’ New Testament. A testament
is a will and a covenant that forms a contract with God. In order
for Jesus New Testament to become valid he gathered his twelve
disciples at the Last Supper to bequeath his body as a sacrifice.
CommunionCommunionCommunionCommunion Luk22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it,
and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for
you: this do in remembrance of me. The twelve disciples serve
as witnesses to attest Jesus’ testimony about what he wished
to be done in remembrance of his sacrificial crucifixion. After a
Christian or Catholic believer has received Communion or
Eucharist as an act of faith his or her sins have been washed or
cleaned by the blood of Jesus Christ. Communion or Eucharist
has supplanted the need of tithing to God under the Law.

New TestamentNew TestamentNew TestamentNew Testament Mat26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed
for many for the remission of sins. God has forgiven the sins of all
mankind who have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. In
respect to the Jews and nonbelievers they must stand in judgment
before God to answer for his or her own personal sins. Jesus serves
as the atonement of sins for Christian and Catholic believers. In other
word God has pardoned us from Judgment Day. This is the essence
of what the gospel of the New Testament is all about.
Last Will and TestamentLast Will and TestamentLast Will and TestamentLast Will and Testament Visit www.etymonline.com and search the definition of
testament: late 13c., "last will disposing of property," from Latin
testamentum "a last will, publication of a will," from testari
"make a will, be witness to," from testis "witness," from PIE *tri-
st-i- "third person standing by," from root *tris- "three" (see
three) on the notion of "third person, disinterested witness." The
Last Will and Testament is a valid legal instrument to publicize
instructions made by the bereaved for the naming of heirs and/or
executors to his or her estate after he or she has deceased.

Two men went to the temple to prayTwo men went to the temple to prayTwo men went to the temple to prayTwo men went to the temple to pray Luk18:10 Two men went to the temple to pray one a Pharisee the other a
publican. The Pharisee prayed a self-righteous prayer to thank God for not
being as other men are extortionist, criminals, adulterers or publicans (tax
collectors). The Pharisee bragged about his fasting and paying tithes. The
publican prayed a humble prayer where he confessed to being a sinner
and asked for God’s forgiveness. Which of the two men do you think God
has forgiven his sins? Then answer is God has forgiven the publican!

two mites that make a farthing. Jesus praised her, because she had
given all she had. The poor widow woman gave from her heart to
prove how much she loves God to give what she could afford. In
contrast Jesus has rebuked the Pharisees for paying tithes but have
overlooked the weightier matter of God’s judgment. Luk11:42 But
woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner
of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought
ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Jesus’ has
frowned upon the Pharisees as being hypocrites.

What is Judgment DayWhat is Judgment DayWhat is Judgment DayWhat is Judgment Day???? Judgment Day is when God calls nonbelievers of Jesus Christ to
stand in judgment for his or her debt of sin. Whenever any person
breaks a single Ten Commandments, then he or she has become
indebted to God. Hell is a prison God has ordained where he shall
condemn nonbelievers to serve time throughout eternity. God has
divided our world into two (2) main categories of believers vs.
nonbelievers. It doesn’t matter what type of sin persons may have
committed. God has ordained Jesus eminent authority to forgive
all manner of sin except blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. In other
words, convicted felons may go to heaven if he or she has called
upon the name of Jesus Christ as his or her Lord and Savior.
Prison is hell Prison is hell Prison is hell Prison is hell hole hole hole hole here on Earthhere on Earthhere on Earthhere on Earth Prison is a hell hole here on Earth. It is the worse hell hole
known to mankind. It has been designed for the specific purpose
to inflict pain and suffering upon convicted felons. The blood of
Jesus Christ has the power to redeem men and/or women
serving time behind bars in prison here on Earth. Faith in the
gospel is the only key that may unlock prison doors to free those
who have called upon the name of Jesus Christ as our Lord. Are
you a believer or nonbeliever who understands what faith is?
